Doris Badu, BACP

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Doris uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to common emotional struggles. One approach she applies focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method aims to teach practical skills people can use day to day.

Another strand of her work looks at attachment and relational patterns. This helps people understand how past relationships affect current communication and trust, and supports developing healthier ways of relating. She also addresses grief and loss with supportive, paced conversations that allow people to process emotions and find ways to move forward.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Doris works together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan as progress and circumstances change.

Online therapy with Doris uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video works well for in-depth sessions where visual connection helps. Phone can suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
